About us

At Boat Cleaning Experts (formerly Wilax Detailing), we specialise in professional boat cleaning and detailing across the Marlborough Sounds. For over a decade, we’ve helped boat owners protect, maintain, and present their vessels to the highest standard, without the hassle.

Our Story

Boat Cleaning Experts began as Wilax Detailing, built on a simple idea: deliver consistent, high-quality care that boat owners can rely on. Over the years, our service has grown through word of mouth, long-term client relationships, and a strong reputation for attention to detail.

As our client base expanded and our standards evolved, so did our brand. Today, Boat Cleaning Experts reflects exactly what we do—specialised, professional care for vessels of all sizes, with a clear focus on quality, reliability, and results.

  • Routine monthly maintenance plans

  • Full exterior washdowns and protection

  • Interior cleaning and presentation

  • Cut, polish, and surface protection

  • Stainless steel, glass, and teak care

  • Pre-sale and seasonal detailing

Our approach is proactive regular care not only keeps your boat looking great but also protects its long-term value.
